Every few years, the Federal government issues a “state of the climate” report, and for the first time ever, this will detail the impacts and expected impacts of climate change on marine ecosystem services. The technical report (Malin is a co-author) is now online at the National Climate Assessment website, the PDF is here.
Upcoming talk at ESA
Malin will talk about his ongoing research on climate and marine range shifts at the Ecological Society of America: August 6, 1:30pm, COS 5-1.
Coral Reef Symposium talk
Malin will be talking about his larval dispersal research at the International Coral Reef Symposium, July 11, 10:15am, Session 14A. This will cover both the use of genetics to estimate larval dispersal kernels, and the interaction between those kernels and habitat patchiness.
New insights into larval dispersal
Best Presentation on climate change?
Malin’s talk at the “Effects of Climate Change on the World’s Oceans” conference (May 2012, Yeosu, South Korea) went over well: it won Best Oral Presentation. The talk was titled, “How predictable are species distribution shifts? Testing hypotheses against four decades of observations.”
